It would not be a 9-2 game without Baumann putting two on and walking at least one in the 8th.

Exactly. They’re talking who you send down when Rodriguez is activated and it’s easily Baumann in my opinion.

Baumann loves walking people when up by a ton. Don’t get it. 

That's why I hate seeing him pitch in a close game.  At least tonight, the worst he would likely do is make it 9-5.

Hyde looks like he has heartburn. He either ate a bad hotdog before the game or it was Stowers' AB.

He has not options though. I doubt they DFA him, but they might.

I looked away from the game for 3 minutes, looked back, 2 men on base.  sigh

You gotta pay attention when Baumann's on the mound.

Doesn't Baumann have to be DFA'ed?  I think Baumann should still go over optioning Akin, but you know it's going to be an Akin option.

They’d have to DFA him and risk losing him. I am Prob okay with that, but that’s what makes it a tough decision.

Would have to be Akin with all the LHP in the pen, right?

Stowers ain’t gonna hit MLB pitching yankinh his head on every swing.

Why cant the Orioles just send Stowers down when they pick Grod up?

Brown “only second strikeout in game……since Stowers struck out in first”  Geez - have mercy on the guy.

You have to imagine with an option, he's the primary option.

I hope they actually do.
